Welcome to the forum Torg McTorg!
Why yes, your post is more than sufficient to prove you are a real metal and oil robot here to crush humanity. You'll fit in quite nicely. Quite nicely indeed...
Ah, the Winux 2004 shirt, it was being
worn by Zoe. But unfortunately Pete doesn't read any of the forum except the Reactions forum so he won't see your suggestion here. Personally, I think his reasoning are not really valid anymore, but I doubt he is going to change anytime soon. Though considering how busy he tends to be, I don't think he would have the time to browse the forum. Heck, he gets behind on reading on just the Reactions all the time. So you will have to sneak it into Reactions for him to see it, or you could just message him directly and ask.
Anyway [member's name here], now I will tell you about the strange tradition aimed at newcomers.
At one time there were Pesterers who pestered you for poetry, but that tends to be very rare nowadays. Even though you may not be pestered, if you do go and post an original poem --usually haiku but any (clean) type is accepted-- written by you, you will most likely receive a gift in return. The "gift" will most likely be useless or maim you. Whichever it may be, it should be interesting and surprising. Lastly, this strange tradition applies to the pestering not the poetry. You are not required to do anything more to be a member here...unless you want to possibly get a [name of harmlessly fatal item here] or some other type of gift.
Now go forth and do (almost) whatever you want, just don't speculate in Reactions.
EDIT: Found the image for the shirt
